Novel tools that allow neuron-specific investigations of the structure controlling sleep regulation in fruit flies reveal the extent of neuronal heterogeneity.

In this important study, the authors use computational modeling to explore how rapid learning can be reconciled with the accumulation of stable memories in the olfactory bulb, where adult neurogenesis ...

We highlight recent developments in eLife’s equity, diversity and inclusion framework and what steps we will be taking next.

Ecological network management provides key mechanistic knowledge on ecosystem degradation that links species- to ecosystem-level responses to global change, and emerging technological tools offer the ...

In the default model, the graph representing each individual enhancer can be arbitrarily complicated. To show how the ABC Score formula can arise from the default model, we need to impose the further ...

This important study shows how the relative importance of inter-species interactions in microbiomes can be inferred from empirical species abundance data. The methods based on statistical physics of ...

In pulmonary hypertension, a combination of metabolic and mechanical dysfunction leads to irreversible vascular damage.

Distribution of Ranvier nodes along myelinated axons is a critical determinant of conduction velocity, significantly influencing spike arrival timing and hence neural circuit function. The patterns of ...

The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

Gut microbiota composition and sex hormones influence the immune response to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gastrointestinal colonization in mice.

This useful study presents computational analyses of over 5,000 predicted extant and ancestral nitrogenase structures. While the data and some analyses are solid, the study remains incomplete in ...

Bumblebees refine visual discrimination through selective and structured scanning, demonstrating a dynamic interplay between movement and perception in pattern recognition.
